Re: 2016 APCT First Round Discussion Thread: There Can Be Only One!

Man that was an intense fight for the last slot in Match 3. Four people and tied till the end between little Vinsmoke and Pudding. Congrats to the multieyed.

Just an idea for future tournaments, but when a character tournament coincides with the beginning of a new arc where loads of characters are being re/introduced, could the last prelim be like half-filled with new characters as something of a wildcard division? I have no doubt that Reiju, for instance, would make it into the second round if she had been introduced a week earlier, and Aladdin and Yonji might have made good showings too.

During Dressrosa, we actually had a mini-Tournament before the main one simply because of the sheer number of new characters being introduced.

It's always been policy though to require that the character been introduced and had an image provided by Oda before the nominations process began though.

I forgot to answer this earlier. No, Johnny and Yosaku advanced through the first year we did Prelims, Gaimon and Sarfunkel managed to do it once, and Monkey and his Doma made it through twice.

Iceberg and Tyrannosaurus not only made it through the Prelims in 2013 but won their First Round Match.

We tossed the Prelims in 2014; Aphelandra and Moriah made it to the Fourth Round that year.
